Jeremia 17
1 Ny fahotan’ ny Joda dia voasoratra tamin’ ny fanoratana sy tamin’ ny diamondra fanoratana; voasoratra ao am-pony tahaka ny amin’ ny vato fisaka sy eo amin’ ny tandroky ny alitarany izany,
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond. It is engraved upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars,
2 Dia amin’ izay hahatsiarovan’ ny zanany ny alitarany sy ny Aserahany, akaikin’ ny hazo maitso, ambonin’ ny havoana andrandraina.
while their sons remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
3 Ry tendrombohitro any an-tsaha, ny fanananao sy ny rakitrao rehetra dia hatolotro ho babo, eny, na dia ny fitoerana avonao koa aza noho ny fahotana tao anatin’ ny faritaninao rehetra.
O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
4 Ary avy amin’ ny tenanao ihany no mahatonga ny hamoizanao ny lovanao izay nomeko anao; Ary hampanompoiko ny fahavalonao any amin’ ny tany izay tsy fantatrao ianao; Fa narehitrareo ny afon’ ny fahatezerako, izay hirehitra mandrakizay.
And thou, even of thyself, shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee, and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou know not. For ye have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: ho voaozona izay olona matoky olona sy manao ny nofo ho sandriny, ka miala amin’ i Jehovah ny fony.
Thus says Jehovah: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.
6 Fa ho tahaka ny olona mahantra any an-tani-hay izy ka tsy mba hahita, na dia avy aza ny soa; Fa honina any amin’ ny tany karankaina any an-efitra, dia any amin’ ny tany sira izay tsy onenana.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Hotahina izay olona matoky an’ i Jehovah, dia izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny.
Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.
8 Fa ho toy ny hazo ambolena eo amoron-drano izy, izay mamaka eo anilan’ ny rano mandeha, ka tsy hatahotra, na dia avy aza ny hainandro, sady ho maitso ny raviny, ka tsy hanahy izy, na dia mihantona aza ny andro, fa tsy hitsahatra ny famoany.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green, and shall not be worried in the year of drought, nor shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 Ny fo dia mamitaka mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra sady manana aretina tsy azo sitranina; Iza moa no mahafantatra ny aminy?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
10 Izaho Jehovah no Mpandinika ny fo sy Mpamantatra ny voa, mba hanome ny olona rehetra araka ny alehany avy, dia araka ny vokatry ny asany
I, Jehovah, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Toy ny tsipoy mikotrika izay tsy atodiny, dia toy izany izay mahazo harena tsy amin’ ny rariny: Handao azy amin’ ny an-tenatenan’ androny izany, ka ho adala no farany.
As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
12 Seza fiandrianana be voninahitra sady avo hatramin’ ny voalohany ny fitoera-masintsika.
A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Ry Jehovah, Fanantenan’ ny Isiraely ô! Ho menatra izay rehetra mahafoy Anao, ary hosoratana amin’ ny vovoka izay miala aminao, satria izy efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, loharano velona.
O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all who forsake thee shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
14 Jehovah ô, sitrano aho, dia ho sitrana; Vonjeo aho, dia ho voavonjy; Fa Hianao no fiderako.
Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed. Save me, and I shall be saved, for thou are my praise.
15 Indro, ireo dia manao amiko hoe: Aiza ny tenin’ i Jehovah? Aoka ho tanteraka izany.
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come now.
16 Fa izaho tsy nihifikifika niala tsy ho mpiandry manaraka Anao; Ary ny andro hihavian’ ny loza dia tsy nohaikaiko, eny, fantatrao izany; Izay efa nivoaka tamin’ ny molotro dia miharihary eo anatrehanao.
As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee, nor have I desired the woeful day. Thou know. That which came out of my lips was before thy face.
17 Enga anie ka tsy ho fampitahorana ahy Hianao! Aroko amin’ ny andro fahoriana Hianao!
Be not a terror to me. Thou are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Aoka ho menatra izay manenjika ahy, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba ho menatra; Aoka hivadi-po ireo, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba hivadi-po; Ataovy tonga aminy ny andro fahoriana, ary ny fahatorotoroana roa heny no anorotoroy azy.
Let them be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana ka mitsangàna eo amin’ ny vavahadim-bahoaka, dia ilay fandehanan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda miditra sy mivoaka, ary eo amin’ ny vavahady rehetra eto Jerosalema
Thus Jehovah said to me, Go, and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 ka lazao amin’ ny olona hoe: Henoinareo ny tenin’ i Jehovah ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ry Joda rehetra ary ianareo mponina rehetra eto Jerosalema, izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto.
And say to them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in by these gates.
21 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tandremo ny fanahinareo, ka aza mitondrantana amin’ ny andro Sabata, ary aza mampiditra entana: amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema;
Thus says Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 ary aza mitondra entana mivoaka avy amin’ ny tranonareo amin’ ny andro Sabata, na manao raharaha akory; fa hamasino ny andro Sabata araka izay efa nandidiako ny razanareo.
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, nor do ye any work. But hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Nefa tsy nihevitra izy, na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony mba tsy hihaino na hino anatra.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
24 Ary raha mihaino Ahy tokoa ianareo hoy Jehovah, ka tsy mampiditra entana amin’ ny vavahadin’ ity tanàna ity amin’ ny andro Sabata, ka tsy manao raharaha amin’ izany,
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, says Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it,
25 izay mpanjaka sy mpanapaka mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida dia hiditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ity tanàna ity mitaingina kalesy sy soavaly, dia izy sy ny mpanapaka sy ny Joda ary ny mponina eto Jerosalema, ka honenana mandrakizay ity tanàna ity.
then there shall enter in by the gates of this city kings and rulers sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever.
26 Ary ho avy ny olona avy amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy ny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema sy ny tanin’ ny Benjamina sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy ny tany havoana ary ny tany atsimo ka hitondra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanatitra hohanina sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona ary hitondra fanati-pisaorana ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing things of thanksgiving, to the house of Jehovah.
27 Fa raha tsy mihaino Ahy kosa ianareo ka tsy manamasìna ny andro Sabata, fa mitondra entana miditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema ihany amin’ ny andro Sabata, dia handrehitra afo tsy mety maty eo am-bavahadiny Aho handevonana ny tranobe eto Jerosalema.
But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in the gates of it, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
